Exquisitely beautiful Japanese bicycles in the French style.

This is worth a look if you like randonneur style bikes with a modern(ish) twist.  The detail pictures are breathtakingly beautiful.

You are most welcome, jags!
Re. the Grand Bois tires ... think lighter and noticeably faster (lower rolling resistance)/better ride quality than an equivalent Pasela folding (if you're familiar with those) for a given size.  Panaracer makes 'em, but the casing/tread is very different.

so now to add yet another wish list is there no end to spending money on bies.

cheers
jags.
